The widespread use of biblical parallels in the political discourse of the period has been recognized for a long time, but in recent research the significance of the parallels has been questioned by scholars who have described them as merely a kind of commonplace religious phraseology, with no further implications. In this chapter however, I will argue that the parallels must be taken seriously and that the Jerusalem code provided a cornerstone of the rhetorical construction of early Swedish nationhood. Central to my argument is that the identification with the Israelites should be understood as figural in character, rather than genealogical or translational, and that the Jerusalem code offered a rhetorically flexible mode of representation that united past, present, and future as well as the individual and the society.","PeriodicalId":431574,"journal":{"name":"Tracing the Jerusalem Code","volume":"318 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134514496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an Icelandic twelfth-century itinerary, we encounter the pious pilgrim, admiring the blood of Christ on the ground where the cross had stood. From twelfth-century Orkney, by contrast, we have runic and poetic evidence of boastful Viking crusaders, belittling the cowards who stayed at home and viewing the concept of the Holy Land through the lens of the world of the sagas. In thirteenth-century Iceland, we find a peculiar version of the Holy Land in a local setting, fully integrated into Icelandic saga style. As late converts on the fringe of the known world, the Nordic peoples were removed in time and space from the events and sites that mattered most to salvation. In the Orcadian and Icelandic material, we see a creative negotiation of both the spatial and temporal distance.

The Latin word populus, meaning people, has no ethnic connotation, as the word natio, nation, has. “People of God” means those who are elected by God as his followers and believers on earth and the heirs of his kingdom in heaven. Additionally, “people of God” not only renders populus Dei, but also civitas Dei, “God’s citizenship.” This concept, introduced by Augustine (354–430) into Christian thinking had a strong ecclesiastical interpretation since the Early Middle Ages, identifying the history of the civitas Dei in the world with the history of the Church. Thus, in the Middle Ages one might see an understanding of people or citizenship of God as a social group, namely the orthodox Church in the Latin World. Applying the Old Testament term of “people of God” to it implied that Christianity had taken over the promises given to Israel and Judaism (“theory of substitution”). Most reformers agreed with the common medieval conviction that Christians had replaced Jews as the true people of God. As early as in his Dictata super Psalterium (1513–1515), for example, Martin Luther understood Ps 65 (64 Vg.) De Ecclesiae profectu et gloria amplianda per euangelium “of the Church’s success and glory to be broadened by the Gospel.” In fact, the Psalm itself spoke about Mount Zion and the temple in Jerusalem. But for Luther it spoke “against the envy of the Jews who alone want to be the people of God.” Against this background the question is not whether the church of their own days would constitute the true people of God, but how this would be understood. It is here that the difference to medieval ideas began, as all reformers tried to avoid direct identification of the people of God with any external institution like the","PeriodicalId":431574,"journal":{"name":"Tracing the Jerusalem Code","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126556050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
